No--I live in a "Bambi love for tourist's bucks zone"--you can hunt anything else on the island--just not deer. People seem prefer to read about deer-vehicle collisions in the papers, which happens on a regular basis. Hospitality operators figures the stacks of bodies of people slaughtered by careless hunters will scare off the almighty buck (both kinds). I'm not exaggerating when I say I sometimes come home to a half dozen or more deer in my driveway--I've walked right up to a big 8 point 200+ lb buck to within 15 ft and he'll stand his ground like nothing doing. When I go to my local range to test AR builds or hand-load ammo--Deer hang out very nearby--even sometimes come out to watch, I kid you not. I follow the big bucks in my neighborhood--they come in regularly for the does that live here. They seem to come around for about 4 years before they disappear forever. Judging by all my trees stripped bare to about 6 ft off the ground--I'd say a fairly hard winter is on the way. ; )

I dont put out trail cameras but I did notice some good sign in my usual hunting area, took my granddaughter out for youth weekend this past Saturday but no sightings, she was a bit discouraged being just 12 and the worse part is I took her last year to the same spot and she shot a 4 point at 7:30 opening day. She sat Saturday but didnt want to go again on Sunday, didnt force the issue but I did explain things to her about NH deer hunting, you dont see em every outing, sometimes can be many outings before seeing any..
